I have an orange Sam in Thailand, and I do get occasional "beautiful bike" comments, and an occasional "how much", which IS a little embarrassing here as the average Thai makes several hundred dollars a month. But mostly it goes unnoticed. If you want to be as inconspicuous as possible, I'd get the green color. The orange is gloriously bright and shiny, and I am sure that is a big part of why it does get noticed on occasion.
